Vanda

I loved the experience! For those who love animals, it is undoubtedly an enriching experience and one that teaches them for life. Ann, responsible for the shelter, is always available to help and is super sweet and friendly. The only thing I think could be improved is the place where the volunteers sleep. The caravan is not incredible, but I 100% understand that the focus is on providing better conditions for the animals and they are excellent at that. Thanks for the opportunity! I loved!

My stay with Myrna and Paco was amazing, the job was easy and pleasing as your taking care of the dogs and playing/petting them. There's a lot of them, they even have cats, birds, a turtle and puppies. Beside the job and the animal, the island is beautiful and you'll have plenty of time to discover. Myrna and Paco will give you adresses and dishes to tru, they are really lovely and I enjoyed my stay with them, I would 100% recommand them

Myrna and Paco are amazing! I only stayed one week, but I wish I could have stayed longer! I learned so much while I was here; I got to practice Spanish, learn about what it takes to efficiently run a property with a large number of animals, help administer medications to the animals, and I even got to help rescue a sick kitten from the streets and help prepare it for adoption. When working with animals, a lot of cleaning is involved. But if you care about the animals, it motivates you to keep the place clean! Thank you so much for everything, I will think about my time here for a long time!

Thanks Tory, it was a big pleasure, a pity that you were only a few days there, and little Kasper thanks to you is alive....

Myrna and Paco are the best hosts I could imagine. They are really sweet and loving for everyone and the animals. They try to help as most animals and people as they can and they expect nothing back from it. They take you on trips, help you learn Spanish (or English or Dutch or German or French since Myrna knows almost every language haha), cook delicious food and are always in a good mood. The work is easy and fun since you're around all the animals and the place where they live is very nice. You have your own room and They even have a jacuzzi ;)

Linde is a very nice person, always there to help you even when she never did it. Everybody closed her in their hart. The animals miss her really, so hopely she can come back one day.

My first worldpacker experience and it was better than I could dream of. The place is perfect if you love animals, and a simple life. Many things to do around the shelter (tracks, beaches) (but you need to enjoy walking or biking). There are quite some bus to move around to. Ann is a wonderful person, the great mother of all the animals living here. There is always something to do here and the work will make you feel useful. Hygienic conditions might make some people uncomfortable, but it makes your body stronger. Definitely recommend and will come back.
